"How Richmond goes often seems to depend on the tire and how the tire acts. The daytime race at Richmond is pretty cool because the track gets really hot and slick. At night it picks up a lot of grip. But I feel like that place puts on a great race whether it's day or night.

"It's always a strong crowd, too. The fans come out in full force. And it will be especially cool this weekend with the 'Thank You, Fans' campaign that they'll have going. We'll all have special decals on our cars to say thanks to the fans, and we'll be doing some fun things for fans on social media, too."
